Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann turned groom for his wedding with a doctor from Kurukshetra at his home. Aam Aadmi Party colleague Raghav Chadha also shared some images on Twitter showing Mann, in his regular yellow turban and a gold coloured kurta-pyjama, with party chief Arvind Kejriwal and others.
Mann, 48, the first chief minister of the state to get married while in office, is tying the knot with Dr Gurpreet Kaur from Pehowa in Kurukshetra in Haryana.
This is Mann’s second marriage. He separated from his first wife in 2015 — they have two children, daughter Seerat Kaur, 21, and son Dilshan, 17.
